Cuban Sandwich
Modified From Food Network [1]
Ingredients
- 8 thick slices of bread, country white or wheat
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1/4 pound baked ham, thinly sliced
1/4 pound roast pork, thinly sliced
1/4 pound provolone cheese, thinly sliced
10 thin dill pickle slices, approximately 2 whole pickles
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
Directions
- Lay the bread flat and and spread mustard on one side of each slice.
- Divide the ingredients evenly among the slices. Start with the ham followed by the pork, cheese, and dill pickles. Cover with remaining slices of bread.
- Heat your panini maker or sandwich press. Butter each side of the press. Place the sandwiches inside, press down and grill until the cheese is melted and the bread is flat and browned, approximately 10 minutes.
- If you don't have a sandwich press, you can heat 6 fireplace bricks wrapped in foil, in a 500 degrees F oven for 1 hour and then press the sandwich between them for 10 minutes. Serve warm.
Makes 4 sandwiches.
